Bottle was opened last night at the Grill, the event being our search for some new wines for the group winelist. Initial impressions are a tad hazy but took home for further investigation!!! I had been looking for this wine since this months theme was announced so feel fortunate to grab this bottle after the hectic evening. 70 wines in 4 hours forumites!!

N. Oak, spice, cherry, black fruits. Seems very complex even after 24 hrs. Has not lost anything overnight I`d say, probably more developed.

P. Think this one will need some time in the cellar. Quite tannic, chocolate, oak, masses of cherry fruit. Very good acidity but balance needs some time to develope. Should check back in a day or two but a great wine for $20.00 Cdn. Believe it is flying off the shelves but that is no surprise as this winery is top notch!!

Bob, I've liked Sandhill's wines quite a bit. They seem to do a good job with both reds and whites (where many of BC's wineries seem to do one significantly better than the other). Loved their light, dry gewurz a few years ago over a dinner at VJ's in Vancouver.

Bob, I speak English and I know exactly what 'hammer' means, but you used the term in present tense. I've watched many a game where a 'hammering' in progress got turned on its ear in the final moments.
